OKLAHOMA CITY -- The Warriors played big in more ways than one in Game 5 of the NBA Western Conference finals, and they know they will have to do it again in Game 6 if they expect to live to see another competitive day after Saturday night.
Golden State delivered the all-around effort needed to beat the explosive Oklahoma City Thunder, but in what proved to be Steve Kerr's most crucial adjustment after disastrous performances in Games 3 and 4, the Warriors also delivered size and beef in the paint it has been desperately lacking.In short, they ditched small.
